Linda's Presidential Campaign

Linda was 2nd Vice President at her elementary school last year. This year she decided to run for President. She ran a good campaign. Three students were running for President. It was Linda against two boys.

Here are the posters she put up around campus. The blue and green borders are glittery.

 

She got to make stickers to hand out. Since 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders can vote, Jane handed out stickers to 3rd graders and Linda covered the 4th and 5th graders. Of course, Claire didn't want to be left out so she insisted on wearing a LINDA THOPMSON FOR PRESIDENT sticker to school as well.

Yesterday Linda had her campaign speech in front of the school. She is so brave and did awesome!

Here she is with her friend that is running for Vice President.

She did a great job on her campaign. Tomorrow we get the results. We'll be happy either way.

We've already attended 2 Halloween parties.

The kids are excited to go trick-or-treating this Friday.

For them, the best part of Halloween is all of them dumping their candy out when they get home and making deals to trade candy.



Reunion

The entire Prettyman family was able to be together for a little while over this past weekend. It was so nice to have everyone together. It had been many years. We had a photo shoot to capture everyone.

A First for Claire

Claire lost her first tooth last night when eating a piece of corn on the cob. She was soooo excited. She'd been waiting a long time. She thought she might get $15 or $80 from the tooth fiary. Luckily she was happy with the $1 the tooth fairy ended up giving her. She got to color in a tooth on her school tooth loss chart. :) She's growing up.

Staying Active

Claire is in Fit Club once a week after school. They play different games, do exercises, and have a snack each class. She really looks forward to it.

Jane does Running after school once a week. They do a warm up and then hit the track. It's a lot of running and she's hanging in there each week. She's really improved her time.

Linda does a volleyball program twice a week. Robert and I are happy with how much she's learning and how she's improved since the first day. She enjoys it. Here's a picture at her first game.

Bruce is still playing competitive soccer. He plays for Vista Storm this year. He practices twice a week and has a game almost every Saturday. He has a great time with all the boys.
